    Looking for a 1956 322 piston

    I am fairly new to the forum and also performing my first real hot rod build. For the power plant I am planning on using a 322 nailhead from a 1956 Century. Only problem is that it has a dead piston! I attempted to order one online and got sent a 364 piston instead. I now can't seem to find anywhere that sells only one. Only full sets are available which, due to money issues (of course), I am trying to avoid. I am hoping that someone here either has one they are willing to part with, or can direct me to somewhere/someone who does. Its a 9.1 compression motor with domed pistons if that helps as, apparently, there were two different compression motors in '56. Oh those quirky nailies! Thanks for any and all help!

    I found the piston you need. It's A Sealed Power #1839 P Standard 4" diameter. This is a product of Sealed Power Corp. New in box.
